It is shown that, in the three-dimensional lattice gravity defined by Ponzano and Regge, the space of physical states is isomorphic to the space of gauge-invariant functions on the moduli space of flat SU(2) connections over a two-dimensional surface, which gives physical states in the ISO(3) Chern–Simons gauge theory. To prove this, we employ the q-analogue of this model defined by Turaev and Viro as a regularization to sum over states. A recent work by Turaev suggests that the q-analogue model itself may be related to an Euclidean gravity with a cosmological constant proportional to 1/k2, where q=e2πi/(k+2).

Chern Simons

We find the relationship between the Jackiw-Teitelboim model of two-dimensional gravity and the SL (2, R) induced gravity. These are shown to be related to a two-dimensional gauge theory obtained by dimensionally reducing the Chern-Simons action of the 2+1 dimensional gravity. We present an explicit solution to the equations of motion of the auxiliary field of the Jackiw-Teitelboim model in the light-cone gauge. A renormalization of the cosmological constant is also given.

Chern Simons Theory

We investigate a three-dimensional gauge theory modeled on Chern–Simons theory. The Lagrangian is most compactly written in terms of a two-index tensor that can be decomposed into fields with spins zero, one, and two. These all mix under the gauge transformation. The background-field method of quantization is used in conjunction with operator regularization to compute the real part of the two-point function for the scalar field.

Chern Simons

We use conformal embeddings involving exceptional affine Kac-Moody algebras to derive new dualities of three-dimensional topological field theories. These generalize the familiar level-rank duality of Chern-Simons theories based on classical gauge groups to the setting of exceptional gauge groups. For instance, one duality sequence we discuss is (E_{N})_{1}\leftrightarrow SU(9-N)_{-1}(EN)1↔SU(9−N)−1. Others such as SO(3)_{8}\leftrightarrow PSU(3)_{-6},SO(3)8↔PSU(3)−6, are dualities among theories with classical gauge groups that arise due to their embedding into an exceptional chiral algebra. We apply these equivalences between topological field theories to conjecture new boson-boson Chern-Simons-matter dualities. We also use them to determine candidate phase diagrams of time-reversal invariant G_{2}G2 gauge theory coupled to either an adjoint fermion, or two fundamental fermions.

Chern Simons

We study the Turaev-Viro (TV) invariant as the Euclidean Chern-Simons-Witten gravity partition function with positive cosmological constant. After explaining why it can be identified as the partition function of three-dimensional gravity, we show that the initial data of the TV invariant can be constructed from the duality data of a certain class of rational conformal field theories, and that, in particular, the original TV initial data are associated with the Ak+1 modular invariant SU(2) WZW model. As a corollary we then show that the partition function Z(M) is bounded from above by [Formula: see text], where g is the smallest genus of handlebodies with which M can be presented by Hegaard splitting. Z(M) is generically very large near Λ~+0 if M is neither S3 nor a lens space, and many-wormhole configurations dominate near Λ~+0 in the sense that Z(M) generically tends to diverge faster as the “number of wormholes” g becomes larger.

We couple three-dimensional Chern–Simons gauge theory with BF theory and study deformations of the theory by means of the antifield BRST formalism. We analyze all possible consistent interaction terms for the action under physical requirements and find a new topological field theory in three dimensions with new nontrivial terms and a nontrivial gauge symmetry. We analyze the gauge symmetry of the theory and point out the theory that has the gauge symmetry based on the Courant algebroid.

Chern Simons

The effective Lagrangian for a three-dimensional gauge theory with a Chern-Simons term is evaluated up to one-loop effects. It is shown to be completely finite. It also does not exhibit any imaginary part. The calculation is carried out in a background field analogue of the Feynman gauge and gauge invariance is maintained throughout the calculation. In the appendix, an argument is presented as to why this Feynman gauge may be a “good” gauge for our results to be applied to high temperature QCD and in particular to the quark-gluon plasma.
